DHCP Configuration in Cisco Router

DHCP is dynamic host configuration protocol. By configuration DHCP in a router, we don't need to give IPs to the hosts manually. DHCP automatically defines IPs for hosts. We can also configure DHCP in Cisco Routers as well.

The following is the sample configuration of DHCP in Cisco Router:


* Router *

en
config t
int g0/0
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
no shut
exit
ip dhcp pool Test
network 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 192.168.1.1
dns-server 192.168.1.1
end
copy run start
